I've never thought I would get to see this book in English. But thanks to Udon I can finally add it to my collection.
Compared to the Japanese edition, other than the presentation, this English edition is very much the same (and easier to read)
The book includes all artwork from the game, plus promotional material leading up to the original game's release, but very little behind the scenes information (same as the Japanese edition). But other than that, this is a very fine book.
Highly recommended.

Gorgeous artwork with tidbits of behind the scenes info on the game. This is a must for any fan of Dragon's Crown.
Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2019
The book is full of beautiful artwork; key images occupy full pages, instead of getting shrunk to the size of postage stamps and then crammed onto a page with a dozen other images, preventing a reader from appreciating the artists' efforts.
Sadly, the art is censored, e.g., the goddesses' statues on pg. 23, the Medusa on pg. 146. If you can stomach this, it'll be worth reading.

Si te gusto el juego debes comprarlo
Reviewed in Mexico on October 26, 2020
Si jugaste el dragons crown en ps3,vita o en ps4 estaras de acuerdo que tiene un arte muy pero muy hermoso. Si cumpliste las misiones opcionales se desbloqueaban imagenes pues aqui estan todas ellas, mas las imágenes de los personajes y su finales, personajes que conoces en la historia como el barbaro y demas.
Sin ninguna duda debes de comprarlo y mas por su formato horizontal que se aprecian mucho mas las imagenes
Por cierto mi libro vino con un golpe leve pero ese no demerita lo excepcional de este libro

Tolle Artworks! Ein MUSS für jeden Fan des Games!
Reviewed in Germany on December 25, 2021
Lieferung und Zustellung waren schnell und wie versprochen vor Weihnachten, Top!
Das Buch ist auch ohne Macken und alles! Zustand 1A!
Die Bilder sind wunderschön und der Druck von bester Qualität! Wer ein Fan des Games ist, sollte sich dieses Werk nicht entgehen lassen. Ich habe auch den dazugehörigen Manga gelesen und eine Sorceress PVC Figur. Dazu passt dieses Buch nochmal umso mehr in meine Dragon's Crown Sammlung.

Un artbook à avoir dans sa collection
Reviewed in France on April 20, 2021
Très bel article présentant l'ensemble de l'univers artistique de Dragon's Crown. Bien plus complet que l'artbook qui était vendu avec le jeu (208 pages contre 32 pages à peu près). On regrettera seulement que les peintures des paysages n'occupent pas chacune à elles seules, 1 page pleine... Sinon c'est magnifique !

Fantastic!
Reviewed in Canada on January 3, 2020
This is a fantastic book, a total must for all fans of the game as well as George Kamitani's artwork, or even just game art in general. The funny thing too is that I don't even play video games, lol, but as an artist I'm always inspired by the richness and creativity that goes into game design. Personally I would have preferred larger images for some of the background samples, but this is a minor issue. As I said, fans of the Game, Vanillaware and Kamitani will be pleased to have this on the shelf. Highly recommended!
